I have been tinkering a bit with jBPM and like what I see. I have run the demo set up but now want to set up a "permanent" jBOSS server with MySQL server and the necessary war's to run and use jBPM properly as a service on my laptop (Windows XP). The only install instruction I see are for the "demo" version that uses H2 and forces me to use the Elcipse that was downloaded with jBPM.

I already have jBOSS running and have installed Drools Guvnor, designer and jbom-colsole. When I try to enable the jbpm server I get the following and here is where I am stuck:

you have to set up a data source in jboss-as-xxx/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml. The datasource name must be the same as in jbpm-gwt-console-server.war/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml. It's recommended to set up a different data source from jbpm-human-task.war as well (due to performance reasons mainly in production mode). See

or take a look into jboss documentation how to set up the data sources.

The second problem means that you have to set up a security domain for your jbpm-console. It's described also in the link above. If you have jbpm-installer somewhere, you can see how to do that from its own configuration files.
